German shopping trip

Salut everyone,

IT IS FRIDAY! Which means I made it through my first week of living in France and going to a french high school! YAAYYY!!!!:) It has honestly been a surprisingly great week! I thought school was going to be a much harder obstacle than it is appearing to be at the moment. I thought friends where going to be the hardest thing in the whole world to make. I thought everyone would be mean to me because I was different and didn't speak french and turns out, the exact opposite thing went down.  I have made a lot of friends and everyone is amazingly sweet and welcoming towards me!:) Especially this one girl Lisa, she has sent me the sweetest messages on Facebook saying she is so happy I'm in her class...etc. and she even commented on this blog!:) That made me very happy because it gave me hope that someone out there besides my parents is reading this! LOL!:)

Anyhooo, this afternoon after school, Léa and I went to Germany to go to the grocery store and to buy toiletries! I know what your thinking, "Why the heck did they go to Germany for groceries and toiletries?". I'll tell you why!:) Germany is very close to where I live. Same goes for Switzerland! It's about a 30-45 minute drive and the items in Germany are much cheaper than the ones in France. For the exact same thing. So we went to Germany and ate german pretzels and shopped! Hahaha! It was really fun! It's crazy how you can just drive between countries and not even know you left the one you where just in. I guess it's just like driving to different states in the US.
I took some pics of our shopping adventure!:)

LOL lots off pictures:)

Amazing looking sandwiches with pretzel bread<3

 I know you have all seen a grocery store. But this one is automatically better because it's german!:)

The beautiful streets of the little town. I took them out of a car so they aren't that good! Désolé!

The French/German border

After that we came home and went for our nightly walk/run! Luckily tonight we got to go running!<3 Every time I go running I think of my dad, because he has decided to become a cross country runner and out here the trails are like a maze of forests, corn fields and farms. It's beautiful and there are about a million different ways you can go and still get a solid run in. I totally understand my dad now and how he says running is addictive. I want to do it every night! Hahaha! I never thought I would willingly say that! I probably like it so much, because it's cooler here and its flat. So I can run a lot farther and for more time!:) Plus Léa is my running buddy, we motivate each other!:) 

Then for dinner we had a tomato, beet, some meat that we couldn't translate to english, salad. But the name of the meat in french it's fillet mignon and blue cheese with bread and grapes! It was fabulous/fantastic (my 2 fav words:)). Like I've mentioned before, my host family has the garden of eve in their yard.  So everything for dinner except the meat, cheese and bread, came from the garden! <3 Pretty much every meal is like that. A majority of it is home grown and organic and some is store bought! It's so yummy!

Okay it's time to catch some ZZZ'S!

Au revoir lovlies!<3

XOXOXO Grace :)
